A 3 x 3 cm half geode, lined with snow white quartz crystals. Sitting in the middle of the geode is a 2 cm wide tuft of green needles of millerite that has been partially altered to honessite. A small chalcopyrite is nestled in-between quartz crystals below the honessite. Collected by Terry Huizing in the 1970s. John Rakovan photo.
